SQL 2005 Enterprise June CTP Installation Error

SQL 2005 Enterprise June CTP Installation Error

• Craig McLuckie

  I get the same error only I was using Standard Edition. I looked on the EE page and it lists Windows Server 2003 sp1 as a supported OS. This is strange and hard to find any info about.
  
  I'm going to try to install .NET Framework 2 serperately and then uninstall and then try the SQL Server install again. It's the only thing I haven't tried yet.

  Aha!
  
  The June CTP has dropped Server 2003 Standard Edition from the allowable OS list for SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition. Standard still installs on standard though.
  Certainly the install prerequisites should have picked that up! Odd way of failing too..

  I, also, except the message I get is consistently this:
  
  Failure adding user NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE to local group SQLServer2005MSSQLServerADHelperUser (1388)
  
  when I try to install "SQL Server Database Services". The setup log contains this around the error:
  
  ...

  Same deal here too. Different groups appear for different services, but my problem is essentially the same as everyone elses.
  

• Scott Munro

  me too:
  1.Product: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 CTP -- Error 29635. The setup has encountered an unexpected error while Installing Local Groups. The error is :The system cannot find the file specified.
  2.Product: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 CTP -- Error 29533. SQL Server Setup was unable add user NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM to local group SQLServer2005SQLBrowserUser.
  3.Product: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Integration Services CTP -- Error 29533. SQL Server Setup was unable add user NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE to local group SQLServer2005DTSUser.
  and so on...

  Perhaps there is some common thread between our installs
  
  I specified the use of a built-in account to start the services, rather than a domain account.  Is there a way to manually add NETWORK SERVICES to this group

  I also get this error:
  
  Product         : Microsoft SQL Server 2005 CTP
  Product Version : 9.00.1187.07
  Install         : Failed
  Log File        : C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Setup Bootstrap\LOG\Files\SQLSetup0008_DHSWSERVER1_SQL.log

  Error String    : SQL Server Setup was unable add user NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE to local group SQLServer2005MSSQLServerADHelperUser.

  Hopefully someone will have some ideas on the fix

  I've tried it again with Standard, same errors.
  
  

• CBrown

  In my case, yes, it's a DC.

• JMiller99

  Here's a thought...
  
  are we by any chance all trying to install it on a domain controller
  
  

• Andrei Faber

  I received this very similar type error and found myself here with others with the same problem looking for a solution.
  SQL Server Setup was unable add user NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE to local group SQLServer2005MSSQLServerADHelperUser.

  Tablet, I don't "think" it's a Framework issue just because the error message is about the system username Network Service and a particular usergroup it tries to set.
  When setup breaks at that point, I go into my AD and see 4-5 new groups that it has added (removed when it does a rollback).
  I tried to add the Network Service to the group manually but was unable to (don't remember the error).
  I accidentally got the WorkGroup version first and when that failed, I thought it may have been because it was the WorkGroup Edition that may not have worked in a domain setup.
  I wanted Standard, but didn't see it available at that point, so got the EE and that failed with a different group I think which made me think it wasn't a domain issue with the WorkGroup Edition.
  I finally got the Standard a couple days ago and tried that and that failed with the same message.
  
  I made a post in MSDN's ProductFeedback.
